You are overreacting because this is something that bothers you. The people that said he was probably just being flippant or incautious about what he was saying are probably right.
Don't let your own hang-ups (an aversion to excessive drinking) lead you to prejudge others.

The main issue is the consideration and getting "tanked"....when we were together, and even until recently, he's not really ever gotten TANKED when he knew we were gonna hang out....he always held off out of respect (my dad used to drink a lot *he knows that* and he's always wanted to be sober (or mostly ;-) )around me out of respect for me and for our friendship) But it's like...on this night....all of a sudden...he seems focused on getting tanked.....I'm not gonna babysit him while he gets trashed at MY formal......i don't care if he drinks some, but that's really disrespectful to say youre gonna go and JUST get tanked....
Or maybe it's just me....
